I purchased a USB 2 pci card the other day so that I could get my Ipod working with FC4 using gtkpod. Plugged everyting in but gtkpod didnt appear to work did some searching and found the following thread

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d&pagenumber=3

This advises to rebiuld the Kernel but remove support for EFI partitions (CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION) This I have done but gtkpod still doesn't appear to be able to read my Ipod.

The ipod mounts pefectly, heres a snippit from my messages:

Aug 21 10:41:40 morpheous fstab-sync[14535]: added mount point /media/ipod for /dev/sda2

I can browse /media/ipod using nautilius but gtkpod will just hang when I press the 'read' button. The mount point is deffintely pointing to /media/ipod. How can I check that the Kernel I am using has EFI partitions disabled? Does anyone have any ideas where to look next.


Many thanks for any help, its driving me crazy?
